The FEMA COG plan gets the spotlight every couple years. In the 90s it formed a key part of the X-Files movie plot. This sounds like a case of a cub reporter or writer who just discovered the plan for himself. to the ’90s Leftover Freak and Tin-Foil Hat Reconstituted Brigade, this is not news. that, and one last thing to consider is that government analysts can’t spend all day long playing solitaire, so they have to cook up these contigency plans just to keep busy. There’s also a detailed Cold War contingency for invading Canada (hasn’t worked before, but third time’s a charm). It’s worth remember the last time FEMA took the reigns–Hurricane Katrina–it wasn’t Alex-Jones-style martial law: it was a total joke, one that cost many people their lives. If they could pull that police state off, they would have already. As it stands, it serves their interests to tell us a little ghost story. About 1 in 4 (i forget the figure) enlisted men have said they’d fire on US citizens given the order. But 3 out of 4 said they won’t.

The only thing that is interesting is how Cheney, Rumsfeld, Reagan, Ollie North, etc. *keep coming up*. I wouldn’t be surprised if 50 years from now we get something like “War Is a Racket” on these fools, or if history books detail how a shadowy cabal charted significant portions of US policy in the Late 20th Century and early 21st. Bill Moyers did a piece on Iran-Contra and dubbed it the “Shadow Government”, which was 100% accurate. It’s a small world for these guys and they’re ready to exploit nearly every opportunity, and failing that, create them. I won’t go so far as to suggest that these guys are part of an active, organized conspiracy today, but they some of them clearly have been even found guilty of it before…

Just the thoughts of a paranoid pretending to be a productive citizen.
